Walk away

Standing on the edge
of horizons own peer
the suffocating stench
draws evermore near
I look to the future for places to hide
swallowing the key to the secrets of tide
I wish for a dream to unfold
leaving the past in the cold

I don’t look back as…
I walk away (never to turn around)
Walk away
(to free myself from all that holds me down)
I walk away
(now only scars remain)
Walk away
(to find a place where I can breathe again)

Staring at the waves
in the dark of the night
behind me a song
of pure poisonous delight
fearful stone faces peek up from the sea
warning everyone who wants to be free
I whisper a spell to unfold
dawn sends her blessings in gold

Moving in this borderland
Sends my dreams astray
As I turn to face this unknown threat
Shadows turn to clay
Breaking their deceiving shell
I turn and walk away
